Hamlet: Synopsis

Shakespeare Anyone?

CHAPTER

Hamlet's Soliloquy

Claudius asks Gertrude to leave Polonius, Ophelia and himself alone. They have sent for Hamlet so that as if by accident Hamlet will encounter Ophelia. The plan is that Claudius and Polonius will hide so that they can determine whether or not Hamlet's love for Ophelia is the cause of his suffering. In this speech Hamlet toils over whether it's nobler to suffer through all of life's bad luck and choose to continue living or to oppose all of the bad and end it with suicide.
